Because of the current exemption allowing for carriage of cargo on the main deck of passenger airplanes due to the
impact of COVID-19, Boeing has calculated the recommended maximum amount of dry ice carriage in the main deck as
long as the total number of main cabin occupants does not exceed 15 people. All other assumptions and
recommendations from the Boeing Dry Ice Service Letter (Reference 4) for these passenger airplane models are still in
effect, and this guidance is not intended to supersede any regulatory authority guidance on the subject. The charts
included below is only valid for airplanes utilizing the main deck cargo carriage exemption (See References 2 and 3).
